Restrictions may include placing all new posts in a moderation queue or temporarily banning the offender. Ban members. The most severe punishment. Three or more moderators or administrators must agree to the ban for this action to occur. Banning is reserved for very severe offenses and members who, after many warnings, fail to comply with the House Rules. Banning is permanent. Bans cannot be removed by the moderators and probably won't be removed by the administration. The Rules 1.

Authors of multiple copies of same post may be dealt with by moderators within their discrete judgment at the time which may result in warning or infraction points, depending on severity as adjudged by the moderators online. 10. Posts should have descriptive topics. Vague titles such as "Help!", "Why?", and the like may not get enough attention to the contents. 11. Do not divulge anyone's personal information in the forum, not even your own. This includes e-mail addresses, IP addresses, age, house address, and any other distinguishing information.

Video link posting with less than a 2 post tally are considered as spam. Video link posting with less than a 2 post tally are considered as spam. 15. Failure to show that you have read the forum rules may result in forum rules breach infraction points or warnings awarded against you which may later total up to an automatic temporary or permanent ban. Supplying system details is a prerequisite in most cases, particularly with connection or installation issues. Violation of any of these rules will bring consequences, determined on a case-by-case basis. Thank You! Thanks for taking the time to read these forum guidelines. We hope your visit is helpful and mutually beneficial to the entire community. |

 My LW suddenly had some probs so I had to close down. Will be a while before it's up & going. Another member will try. Your public ip is different to yesterday. Your private ip should not be showing to others when using LW which is what's happening. Your setup is not per normal I would argue. So does your ip address show up on your DC search window? Is this your public or private address & is it the same everytime. We'll wait for the other member & until my LW fires up. Oh forgot to reopen lol.  How many hosts depends. If you're operating as an ultrapeer then you'll have more.  |

| Fabion DC'd with you & i did also (my downld window hadn't even loaded yet.) I notice you have no chat enabled .. there's no chat icon which is needed for chatting & helps DC work better. that's one of your issues. I still have a snapshot of yesterday & your files are no longer in red & they now show your public address & not your private address. Fabion successfully downlded a file from you on the 3rd attempt (1st 2 went immediately to need more sources as it was yesterday. And had to re-search DC.) I'm not ready to downld yet. * Fabion tells me he is seeing you in red text like happened yesterday & with your private ip. Hmm strange.

| I started to downld again from you & found I could open a chat window but only from the downld window not from the search results & your chat icon is still not showing. Odd! lol Have you checked to see if there's a chat window message waiting for you? But apparently Fabion does see a chat icon. Hmm can't work that one out. lol What's even more odd is that one of my DC searches came up the same as yesterday with your results in red & with your 172. address. I notice your connection type changed from modem>cable. Last edited by Lord of the Rings; April 27th, 2005 at 02:00 AM. |

| I just got back from the gym and saw your msgs and chat windows... I left my LimeWire connected. No config changes done here since I posted my last message... now over 3 hours ago. I have been on DSL here for two years now. Not dialup... all these variable results are very puzzling... Last edited by GeoFan49; April 27th, 2005 at 02:10 AM. |

| You forwarded a port on your device is that right? So your are not using a static ip right? If you did the normal steps are: 1. Set up a static ip which is very important for it to work. 2. Forward (open) a port for your modem or router. 3. Set LW up for manual port forward under Tools>Option>Advanced>Frirewalls. Or did I misunderstand you? |

 What a difference a day makes ... or... a little TCP/IP knowledge is dangerous! Yesterday: only TCP port 6346 was being forwarded by my firewall. (MY BAD!) Today: both TCP and UDP port 6346 is being forwarded. (Yeah, I fixed it!? Maybe...) SO, the firewall uses NAT (Network Address Translation) and port numbers to map an external, dynamic, PUBLIC IP addr to an internal, STATIC, PRIVATE IP addr. The internal LAN addr starts with 172.... My external, public IP addr changes only if I reboot my DSL modem. It may look like 64... or 67... or ... but never 172... My ISP assigns that addr via DHCP when I reboot my DSL modem. LimeWire remote peer should always use the EXTERNAL addr like 67.124.63.161:6346 and never the internal addr like 172.1*.**.**:6346. SOMETIMES, LimeWire remote peers use the INTERNAL 172... addr, while others are using the EXTERNAL 64... addr. this a bug in LimeWire, or a config problem, or a design problem for a future version of LimeWire so it can support NAT routers/ Firewalls??? More details below... later... Last edited by Lord of the Rings; April 28th, 2005 at 02:26 AM. |

| First, your modem is probably UPnP configurable, meaning that LW can open the port automatically, hence why incomings: true. Second, if you are opening ports, don't forget to open both TCP and UDP as those two protocols are used by LW. Just be sure that UDP is allowed and that should help a lot. SBC could also throttle the P2P traffic, did you called them to ask if they were limiting the Gnutella traffic? Also: the fact that the cha window shows your lan address (172.x.x.x.) is probably a bug, Tell the user sberlin (LW dev) about that. Chat isn't a priority at LW, that's why the function of it is poor and buggy, you would prefer chatting via MSN or AIM.

| Thanks! Yes, UPnP is configured in my DSL box. LW chat is rather nice, lightweight, simple, and clean. AND it shows you the IP addr so you can relate things within LW such as browsing a host whilst chatting... yes? I find it very usable... Meanwhile, the idea that my ISP is doing some throttling could explain the cause of variable results from hour to hour and day to day... hmmm.... yeah... maybe... worth checking on that! There is more than one thing going on here... bugs, config errors, and ISP details... more detailed analysis and reports later! Last edited by GeoFan49; April 27th, 2005 at 06:18 AM. |
